Brief Summary

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma with high incidence in Asia and Latin America. Approximately 70% of patients present with early-stage (I-II) disease confined to the upper aerodigestive tract. Radiotherapy at 50-56 Gy is the standard curative treatment, but high-dose radiotherapy causes severe toxicities including oral mucositis and xerostomia, while radiotherapy alone yields high systemic recurrence rates. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of P-GEMOX induction chemotherapy, verified the feasibility of reduced-dose radiotherapy in patients achieving complete response after chemotherapy, and demonstrated the radiosensitizing effect of selinexor via inhibiting IRF3-BARD1-BRCA1-mediated DNA damage repair. Moreover, international evidence supports the efficacy of 40 Gy radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Accordingly, this study hypothesizes that selinexor combined with 40 Gy reduced-dose radiotherapy following P-GEMOX induction chemotherapy can achieve equivalent efficacy to standard-dose radiotherapy, while markedly decreasing radiotherapy-related toxicities. This trial innovatively applies selinexor as a radiosensitizer in ENKTCL, fulfills the unmet clinical demand for efficacy-preserving toxicity reduction, and is well supported by preliminary data.

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    From the day of initiation of treatment to 8 weeks after completion of radiotherapy.

  • two-year PFS rate

    From the day of treatment as of 24 months

  • two-year OS rate

    From the day of initiation of treatment as of 24 months

  • two-year local control rate (LCR)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will first receive 4 cycles of P-GEMOX induction chemotherapy. Pegaspargase at a dose of 2500 IU/m² (maximum dose not exceeding 3750 IU) is administered via intramuscular injection on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² is given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² is administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. A total of 4 cycles will be completed. Following induction chemotherapy, patients will receive consolidation therapy consisting of selinexor combined with reduced-dose radiotherapy. Radiotherapy will be delivered at a total dose of 40 Gy in 20 fractions (2 Gy per fraction), once daily, 5 fractions per week, over 4 weeks. Radiation therapy will be performed using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The target volume includes the gross tumor volume (GTV) of the primary lesion before chemotherapy, with a clinical target volume (CTV) margin ex

Following induction chemotherapy, patients will receive consolidation therapy consisting of selinexor combined with reduced-dose radiotherapy. Selinexor 40 mg will be administered orally twice weekly (Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday). Selinexor will be given concurrently with radiotherapy for a total of 8 doses.
